Dancing on Ice almost saw a huge accident after professional skater Brianne Delcourt's costume began shedding sequins.

While it might not sound like a big deal,This Morning's Dancing on Ice pundit Jordan Banjo explained the show's technicians had to comb the ice to collect the sequins by hand, in order to prevent any huge accidents happening.

Phil then showed footage he shot on his phone of "skating techs" scouring the ice and collecting each of the broken sequins by hand during the ad breaks.

But why was it so dangerous?

Jordan explained: "If they hit a sequin on their blades, they can just drop, they can go over. I was watching the rehearsals and Max [Evans] and Ale [Izquierdo] had some really, really dangerous lifts.

"And you could literally just see the sequins coming off of her dress, and if she's upside down and Max trips, someone is going to get seriously, seriously hurt."

Phil added: "Because your skates stop dead."

"They literally stop dead," Jordan said. "It's like going on your toe pick, people just go over, so we had our 'tech', our 'ice safety dudes', as I like to call them.

Stephanie's partner Sylvain Longchambon said: "Yes and no, again, it's the skate-off. Whoever has the stumble or falls is supposed to be penalised, but they chose Lemar over Stephanie, they thought that his routine was obviously stronger than ours and we respect that."

Addressing the outrage on social media, Stephanie said: "He's worked just as hard as all of us. I stand there and I watch their performance and I'm rooting for every single person.

"No-one wants to see anybody go home, at all. It's my turn, so if I'm out, I'm out. I've had the best time and everyone has been amazing and the show in itself, to be part of it, to be chosen, I was just so thrilled."
